I want one that can prevent, or at least punish, door dings.

Lamborghini has created the world's first self-healing sports car. The Terzo Millennio, which translates as third millennium in Italian, has the ability to detect and repair cracks in its body work.
Using sensors the car can conduct its own health check to detect any damages and self-repair itself by filling the crack with nanotubes to prevent it spreading.
The super car was created in collaboration with researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in Boston. ...
The all-electric car is powered by supercapacitors rather than conventional batteries. ...
Each of the car's wheels includes its own integrated electric engine that glow as you drive.

I’m completely serious, yes.
Drones will get hit, and then repair themseveles, somewhat.
Enough to continue the mission.
It looks like it has about 2 inches of ground clearance. I hope the self-healing feature takes care of pothole damage.
If only Toyota had this on my 16 Tacoma that got stabbed in a parking lot last Sunday.......
My best guess it was at Lowes.
A fair dent and a small rectangular slit.
That is brilliant research. Extremely exciting.
In the old days I worked on a lot of computer research government projects and it always amazes me when the research turns to real possibilities.
My deepest sympathies. You hope that there is a personal pothole for someone who hits and runs like that.
Big deal.
My 94 Buick Century had a juice box shifter for awhile.
Even for this girl. Lambs are prettttttty.
Obviously no good in snow.........BUT
If I could afford to own one, I'd definitely move to a state where global warming is hot all year around..............
No telling who. I didn’t notice until a couple of days later.
I’ve been in the moving game in earnest since last Saturday. With the big move on Monday, it will be sometime next week before I can try some kind of pop and patch.
As much as I love you Yaelle, as a single guy, I gotta go with the Bugatti Chiron...........
Simon Cowell drives one, right? Hey I haven’t seen one or I’d be converted, too. The Chiron is sweeet. I forgive you for cheating on me with that beauty.
They already wrote a book about a 59 Fury that did this. Movie too. To this day a 59 Ply is second only to a 57 Chevy ‘vert as my dream car. Gimme me fins anyday
Wonder how many groups will lobby to keep that out of the market?
Pot-hole damage repair would be a necessity here in Indiana. I can’t imagine I-65 in that thing. Better be a quick healer.
Nice, but can it withstand a drunken sports figure driving it into a ditch at max speed?
If the vehicle begins to assimilate me, no thank you…
I want one that can prevent, or at least punish, door dings.
Who knows what else they are up to at MIT!
If it's any consolation, I could pick you up and we could go out to dinner at McDonalds........OK, maybe Wendys instead......Your choice.
